Title: NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizers Production (Renewal) ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1790.06, OMB Control Number 2060– 0361 ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subparts AA and BB. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also required to VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:13 Jun 18, 2013 Jkt 229001 maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports are required semiannually at a minimum. Respondents/Affected Entities: Phosphoric acid manufacturing and phosphate fertilizers production facilities Estimated Number of Respondents: 12 Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,765 Estimated Total Annual Cost: $181,581, which includes $170,949 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $10,632 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden for both the respondents and the Agency due to an adjustment. The previous ICR assumed the per-respondent burden hour for each activity is inclusive of all technical, managerial, and clerical hours. This ICR assumes the per-respondent burden hour includes technical hours only, and that managerial and clerical hours are additional 5 and 10 percent of technical hours, respectively. In addition, this ICR uses updated labors rates available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs, which results in an adjustment increase in both labor hours and costs. Additionally, there is a decrease in the estimated number of responses due to a correction. The previous ICR assumed that each respondent would have to submit annual, semiannual, and quarterly reports, or a total of seven reports per year, which is inconsistent with the assumptions used to calculate respondent reporting burden. This ICR corrects the number of responses and clarifies that quarterly reports are only required if there are excess emissions. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.
